Honoring Innovation in Business Intelligence (2009)

The third annual BI Awards honored three campus innovations that not only save time and resources for their own unit or business function, but show promise for use elsewhere in the University – and beyond.

Presenters Laura Patterson, Associate Vice President of Michigan Administrative Information Services, and Brent Dickman, Director of Finance and Planning Law School and Chair of the Advisors of Information Management Strategy (AIMS), honored recipients with cash prizes totaling up to $10,500.

Honorable Mention:

The award presentation was followed by a special Q&A with a panel of BI experts representing various units and executive levels across campus. Audience members learned firsthand how others at U-M are using Business Intelligence to meet today’s challenges. Panel members discussed how they use data to approach key issues in their respective units and how they measure the benefits of BI.
